Machine Project and the Sober and Lonely Institute for Contemporary Art invite you to join us for The Inaugural Sober & Lonely Synchronized Running Club Run at 6:13 AM (Dawn) on Sunday August 12th, starting from Machine Project in Los Angeles.

The route is a short but hilly 3.45 miles loop along Marathon Street in Echo Park/Silver Lake.

The Inaugural Sober & Lonely Synchronised Running Club Run will start from the Sober & Lonely Institute for Contemporary Art in Johannesburg at 3:13PM on Sunday August 12th. The route is a short but hilly 5.56 kilometer loop. The middle runners of the Olympic Marathon in London will be finishing their race which marks the end of the 2012 Olympic Games at roughly the same time.

Open to everyone who thinks getting up at dawn to run around Echo Park is a good time. Please email lauren@soberandlonely.org with the subject line [This hill is actually more steep than I thought it was] and let us know if you will be participating. Doors will open at 5:45 AM with the race starting promptly at 6:13 AM.

Call for volunteers:

Machine Project is looking for volunteers for The Inaugural Sober & Lonely Synchronized Running Club Run on 12 August. If you like cheering, holding up encouraging signs, handing out water and oranges and waking up before sunrise on a Sunday morning, then this might be something for you. We are looking for help from 5.00 AM – 7.00 AM on August 12th. Email lauren@soberandlonely.org with the subject line [I like waking up early and handing out oranges] if you’d like to help out.
